The Alexander Technique is now recognized the world over as the most revolutionary and far-reaching method ever developed for maintaining the coordination and efficiency of the human body. It is not only a means of putting us in touch with our bodies, but also a way of deepening our perceptions and general well-being. Its effects on all aspects of living and learning are profound.
 
Body Learning provides a simple, clear answer to the question: "What is The Alexander Technique and how can it help me?" Michael J. Gelb provides inspiration and guidance to newcomers to the technique and conveys a full understanding of the complex mental and physical dynamics involved.
